Possible Causes

Thin or warped cookware causing magnetostriction noise, Loose mounting of induction coil, Loose screws on chassis or glass supports, Normal operation at high power with certain pans

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Noise alone is not usually dangerous, but ensure cookware is stable and the cooktop is properly installed.

  • Try different cookware: Use heavier, flat-bottomed induction pans. Noise often decreases with better-quality cookware.
  • Change power level: Slightly reduce the power setting; many induction units are quieter at slightly lower levels.
  • Check mounting: With power off, remove the cooktop and verify that the induction coils and chassis screws are tight.
  • Normal vs abnormal: A moderate hum is normal; sharp rattling or metallic clanging may indicate loose parts that should be tightened by a technician.
